Fuck Autodesk. As a student, I have a Fusion licence but they wouldn't let me open and export my files because my PC is "no longer supported". Luckily, Altium's online CAD viewer allows exporting into KiCAD-friendly formats. A lot of editability and metadata got lost in the process but still good enough.
